Wow, that's a quick find, Ade. I hope you still have enough helpers and competitors for the new date. I can't help on Friday, I'm afraid, but I think I can be there on Saturday. I'll confirm asap.

Thanks George

Appreciated

AdeR

I cannot help i'm afraid but many congratulations on pulling this off with the new venue so quickly I hope that I did not convey an expectation that you would help out when I texted Dave. It was just that given past form I could not rule out you showing up -and wanted to save you a wasted journey.

Dear all. I received communication this morning that there is ‘a problem with the field this morning as last night approximately 25 caravans have gained access to the site. The process is in motion to have them removed but from prior experience this will take a few days and then there will be a clea...

If it is raining it will still go ahead. We adapt the racing. e.g. scratch race might need breaking up into heats/final. If there is a weather warning we cancel.

Magic Mick - will keep you posted. Huge thanks

AdeR

Many thanks indeed for the offers of support so far. As things stand it is looking like a lot of work for the kind souls who have put their name forward. We could do with some numbers - even if it just for an hour or so.

AdeR

Great - thanks George

It is with great regret that I have to announce that the 2022 Beacon RCC track championships for adult riders is cancelled due to lack of entries. Eight academy riders have signed up. My perspective is that it is a real shame that they will not get to see older members of the club in action. Club me...

AdeR

So nipped down to have a look if the floodlights were working last night and they were ON. We've been CC'd into e mails 'the lights will be switched on as requested.' Will be down before the session [02 02 22] to set up. Watch the fb at 5pm. Will post news there.

After yesterday's struggle I think I could do with putting the miles in Nick. Count me in. If I get dropped, I can read a map.

AdeR

I'm in please

Floodlight failure caused the late cancellation of the 26 - 01 - 22 session. the response we got back was "So sorry, obviously this session won’t be charged for, I have emailed the main guy’s to ensure this doesn’t happen next week.

I await their response"

AdeR

Just putting a question up. Really appreciate the hard work that the dinner organisers do every year to make a great event. How do members with younger families feel about it? What might an event that was more open to academy families look like? I'm wondering how we might celebrate the achievements ...

AdeR

Up for this - Thanks for leading.

Top 10 in the region. When's the last time the Beacon posted that? Thoughts?
